The Nigerian government on Monday launched the Community-based Health Research, Innovative-training and Services Programme (CRISP) as part of efforts to bridge workforce gaps across Primary Health Centres (PHC) in the country.
Speaking at the launch, Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, said the initiative is timely, saying no health facility can function properly without adequate skilled workers.
Mr Osinbajo, represented by the Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, said no country could boast of effective healthcare delivery without adequate and well-distributed human resources.
